Congratulations to the Mandarin and all of CityCenter. You are changing the face of Vegas in a way that makes history. Anyone who can't see that has no vision.
"Vegas has only been a "community" for the last 10-20 years or so."
Actually, Las Vegas was much more a community in the 1970s and the early 1980s than it has been at any time since. Hundreds of thousands of warm bodies do NOT a community make.
Any Las Vegas-area art museum belongs in the Downtown Arts District. But, again, without a strong vision by a funding foundation, at least the minimal support of local government, and a reason for locals and visitors to visit, any museum will find it hard to survive.
Sadly, we had more art in and around Las Vegas when Charles Hunsberger was running the Clark County Library District. I could step into any area library at that time and be guaranteed to see an exhibit, or a performance, of something interesting.
Visions and visionaries -- that's what Las Vegas culture needs.
Vehicular Manslaughter IS and SHOULD BE a misdemeanor. It's an accident, not premeditation. Accidental deaths cannot be treated equally to intended ones.
Obama called out Vegas by name. Poor judgement for a president to attack an American city, period, end of story.

Um, rejco, the failure of What's On has NOTHING to do with the recession (yes, it is over). It has to do with the collapse of print media combined with poor management and a distinct lack of integrity on the part of the publisher. Recession or no, this company would have collapsed.
